Lucretia ‘Crecy’ Holbrook has a secret, a secret she has kept for many years.

Even her dearest confidant and sister, Belle, would not understand what Crecy is prepared to do, the risks she is prepared to take, to get her heart’s desire.

For Crecy is not like the other smiling débutantes; she despises poetry, thinks dancing a chore and is quite prepared to throw something at the next fool to compare her to Aphrodite.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "SUPERB narration, EXCELLENT writing...I still don’t know quite how the author pulled it off, but she changed a zero into a hero, and I found myself having empathy for Gabriel- the same jerk from Book 6. This author/narrator combo is a hit, and I’ll be snatching up further titles from this team."

Far more likely to return from a country walk with a badger’s skull and some bloody, injured creature than a posy of wildflowers, Crecy is drawn to the dark, the damaged, and the unlovable.

Her heart longs for one man alone, one with a wounded soul, one so dreadfully damaged that even her tender care might not be enough to save him.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “What a dark tale of obsessive behavior and obsession!”

Viscount Demorte is everything she dreams of.

With a reputation that covers blackmail, murder and madness, cruelly handsome Lord Gabriel Greyston, Viscount Demorte, is far more dangerous than any wounded dog, and his bite … just might leave Crecy ruined beyond repair.

The seventh book of the acclaimed Rogues & Gentlemen historical romance series from Emma V Leech, the multi-award-winning Amazon Top 10 romance writer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "There is steaminess, suspense and some lighter elements to make this a hard to put down read. Mr. Battley, narrates superbly."
